Gu Qing fell down and stood up and said, "According to what you always say, it is still a strange thing for me to live for so long? Generally, emperors and generals are incompatible, and most of the unlucky ones in the end are generals and ministers."

Li Chengqian looked at the word Gu Qing fell down, and couldn't hold it up for a long time and said, "I lost, it turned out that it was not a game of chess."

Gu Qing picked up the piece that had just fallen and said, "This game of chess is indeed a game of chess, but you shook your attention and you made the first three steps wrong."

Turning his head to look at Li Er beside him, Gu Qing said, "Actually, winning or losing is not important. You just want us to sit down and talk, but the whole day has passed, what kind of result do you want?"

Li Chengqian also looked at his father, with inquiries in his eyes.

He laughed out loud, Li Ershou rolled up his sleeves and waved all the pieces on the chessboard, "I will feel relieved if the chessboard is clean."

"What does it mean?" Gu Qing asked.

Li Er took Gu Qing's shoulder with one hand and said, "Gu Qing, as the prime minister, you will let most of the old ministers in the court leave. Although this is what I want to do, you did not have my consent when you did it."

"But it also coincides with your intentions." Gu Qing said.

Li Er pointed at Gu Qing and smiled and said, "This is one of the mistakes you made by Gu Qing. Whether it is inconsistent with my intentions, you have done this, right?"

"Okay, I'll admit it." Gu Qing nodded.

Li Er continued, "As a prime minister, you are raising enemies on the sea, right?"

"You know why I did this, I explained it to you." Gu Qing said.

"Indeed, if it were me, I would do this, but you are not me and you are the prime minister. Gu Qing is arrogant, and this is also one of your mistakes." Li Er said: "Do you recognize it?"

"Are we settle the score after the autumn?" Gu Qing looked at Li Er's expression, and the old guy seemed to be counting his own crimes.

"I haven't finished talking yet, don't worry." Li Er took a sip of tea and said, "You Gu Qing actually have many crimes. I can't finish talking for a whole night."

"These crimes must be added up. I still have countless life debts on my hands. Even Lingchi is not enough." Gu Qing said, "I understand. Father-in-law, this is planning to destroy his relatives for the sake of justice, right? The shameful things I did before have become your crimes. You take the result you want and wipe me out."

"Gu Qing, I have not asked you to do some things. Of course, I can ignore what happened before you become a prime minister." Li Er said: "Then I ask you now whether Gu Qing recognizes all the crimes in the past, is it enough for Gu Qing to leave the position of prime minister, and leave your Gu Qing's infamy in history or not?"

Gu Qing stared at Li Shimin and said, "You are an elder, I don't want to question you. I was careless and didn't expect that you have been calculating me for so many years. You have prepared this trick long ago to force me to retreat."

Li Er smiled, "Although this is the case, the agreement between me and you is still valid. It is not easy for this Tang Dynasty to be established. Don't blame me for settled the score with you later. In addition to believing in you, I can only threaten you."

Li Chengqian looked at the change in Gu Qing's expression, listened to his father's words, and thought about Gu Qing's crimes. As long as these crimes were brought forward, Gu Qing, the prime minister, could abdicate.

Li Er sighed and said, "Gu Qing, everyone in the Li family thanks you. What I feel most guilty about in my life is you. Forgive me not to give you deserve it. Some things you don't want to impose on you."

Gu Qing didn't say anything, Li Er looked at Li Chengqian, "I am not satisfied with all the things you have since ascended the throne. Maybe no matter how good you do, I will not be satisfied, because you are my son."

"When do you think Gu Qing will leave the position of prime minister now?"

"Boy..." Li Chengqian didn't know how to answer, and he couldn't say half of his words.

"Is it the war in the West ending or the situation in Jiangnan pacified?" Li Er asked again.

"I don't know." Li Chengqian lowered his head.

Patting Li Chengqian's shoulder, Li Er said, "I often wonder what the Tang Dynasty would look like without Gu Qing, don't blame me for being harsh on you."

"I have never thought so before. The child has always kept the teachings of the father to him. It is because he is stupid." Li Chengqian said immediately.

Li Er continued: "Even if the Western War is over and even if the situation in Jiangnan is settled, do you think that by that time Gu Qing abdicates, the voices in the court will calm down? Will the ministers in the court think that it is a matter of course? The most difficult thing in this world is human relations, do you understand?"

"I understand that there are too many Gu Qing's pursuit in the court. Once Gu Qing abdicates, the hearts of the court may be dispersed." Li Chengqian replied.

"Just understand. The three nobles were promoted by Gu Qing, which was quite like the three dukes and nine dukes. However, after thinking about Gu Qing's arrangements for the court after becoming the prime minister, these three nobles and the three dukes were different. The three nobles weighed the balance of the government and the balance between the emperor and the court officials. Chu Suiliang and Gu Qing were old friends, Pei Xingjian was a disciple. Shangguan Yi was sent to the academy by Gu Qing. There were so many young court officials in the court who came out of the academy. In this huge academy, many poor students, they all remembered Gu Qing's kindness to the point."

"There are not so many reasons in this world. Many people will remember this kindness. The academy that people want is the deepest moat for Gu Qing."

"Wait! Should I avoid what you father and son are going to say next?" Gu Qing said.

"Sit down, listen to me." Li Er ordered Gu Qing.

"Oh." Gu Qing sat down again.

Li Er patiently said to Li Chengqian: "Now everyone knows that the emperor is incompatible. No matter who leaves between you and Gu Qing, it is not good for the court to the world, and some chaos will inevitably occur. So I think that as long as you Cheng Qian is in power for one day, Gu Qing will be the prime minister for one day. No matter how incompatible you are, you must sit and stand well."

Li Er turned to look at Gu Qing, "If one day Li Chengqian abdicates, Gu Qing, you should also leave the position of prime minister. Do you think I am right?"

"I would be ignorant if I say I am not reasonable. Why do I feel so unscrupulous if I say I am not reasonable?" Gu Qing smiled embarrassedly, "I have the conditions before this."

"You said." Li Er nodded.
